Spouses Siblings Kids in Qualcomm
It's frustrating to see how often promotions and opportunities seem to align more with who you're related to than what you bring to the table. At the director and above, it’s hard to ignore the number of spouses and siblings in the same org... — read more
New Blood needed
This stupid company is always organic meaning, all the Execs are long timers (CEO, CTO, CFO..), so they have the same narrow minded mentality. The company needs some people from outside who have vision and know how to do business. The current mo--ns... — read more

CEO fired
When will Cristiano be fired for his incompetence and silence on the declining stock ? Aksah and CA completely missed the AI bo-m. Bunch of mo--ns. Time to fire them and sell the company to someone who knows how to manage it.
See? No need for the toxicity!
I left Qualcomm back in January. The toxicity was just way too much, and I had to get out. I posted about my experience here a couple of times. I started a new job two weeks later, and honestly, it’s such a breath of fresh air. People here aren't... — read more
Bloated workforce
Qualcomm employs over 52k with little or nothing to show for all that. Why do you guys need so many people to collect license royalties? Companies like Broadcom generate massive revenue/market-cap per employee. You guys are in the same space... — read more
Leadership Failures by U.S. VPs
The senior leadership in the U.S., particularly the VPs, routinely take credit for the work done by their Indian directors and senior directors. These VPs claim full ownership of projects that their Indian counterparts have actually planned and... — read more
Everything has been as expected!!

ESPP!
What wrong with ESPP?! I got the email that shares were purchased at 108$ each for 10800$ worth but I'm only getting 85 shares instead of 100! WTF! Is it taxes?! If I sell now I basically just get back my money (actually 40$ loss).
No recent layoffs in WARN
Last layoff in the database is Jan 2025. https://www.warntracker.com/company/qualcomm
stock price drop
stock price dropped from 150 to 130 since Jan 31. Due to espp purchase date shift, we will lose 20 dollars per share if we sell espp right after we get it. Who made this bad decision for purchase shift?
Lay offs
Harassment from coworkers, complained to HR 2 months ago, no investigation, fired me last month along with 45 other IT people. Is it a retaliation? Probably not.
Toxic work culture
I worked at Q for 10.5 years. I have complained to HR about harassment from a colleague (not a manager). Seems like they did not investigate this. Last month they fired me along with other 45 IT people. Is it a retaliation?
Oracle axes 30K jobs in massive layoff - notifying fired employees with 6 a.m. email
Do a Google search for articles on this (e.g., California Post and/or New York Post). Tic toc. Tic toc. Tic toc.
Qualcomm is so unfriendly to new employees
My first week was just me sitting around trying to piece things together on my own. No training, no point of contact, just outdated documents that don't match anything we actually do. People keep assuming I know systems I've never even seen. It set... — read more
toxic work place
QCOM is extremely toxic place to work . Hire young people and torture with no pay over time then damage health due excess stress then throw out when nothing left to squeeze out . So don't accept offer if offer is not highly competitive to compensate... — read more

What do you have to do to get a promotion here?
I keep having conversations about moving up, about what I need to do to get there. I do all of it. Then nothing happens. The goalposts keep moving, the budget supposedly gets tight, or somehow the timing isn't right. I'm starting to wonder if these... — read more

Been here 6 years and I've never seen management this bad
My manager plays favorites openly, and if you're not in the clique, good luck. And God forbid you push back, suddenly you're on their radar in the worst way. Toxic doesn't even cover it.
There's no such thing as safe at Qualcomm
A few years ago I witnessed the best guy on our team fired in a thirty second phone call and I haven't forgotten since that day that nothing here is safe.
Same Names. Same Friends. Rest Are Sidelined.
What’s exhausting is the sense that there’s a permanent inner circle. The same names recommend each other, amplify each other, and open doors for each other while outsiders are quietly ignored. It creates a culture where talent and contribution... — read more

Wouldn't it be nice to just know what's coming?
